Three questions, three answers: Cam Das

He
is the first Formula 4 champion from the States and now wants to prove himself
in the Formula European Masters: Cam Das. The 18-year-old American particularly
benefits from the fact that the Formula European Masters will be in the support
programme of the DTM at all events, with DTM driver and Formula Euro Series
champion Jamie Green as his mentor.

Why
did you choose to be part of the 2019 Formula European Masters?

“For me,
Formula European Masters is the best place to be. The combination of the
Dallara F312 and Mercedes-Benz power plant, the historically high level of
competitiveness, and the close exposure to DTM make this one of the best
championships for a developing driver in Europe.”

DTM
driver Jamie Green is your mentor, so will you spend more time in the DTM
paddock?

“Jamie Green
has been my mentor for almost a year now. He teaches me not only about driving
techniques, but also provides insight into the differentiations off-track that
make a driver at his level truly a professional. Our partnership is
particularly helpful this year since we will be racing on the same weekends.
DTM has always been recognized as one of the most competitive and
entertaining championships in the world, and to race alongside it is
tremendously valuable.”

What
is your 2019 goal with Fortec Motorsports?

“My target is
to win the Formula European Masters. As a team, we are all putting 100% of our
efforts into winning, and we believe we have the package to do that. All the Fortec
team members are working in sync with one another and share a common goal,
so I think we’ll be very strong contenders this year.”
